Forever And Always | D.M

Chapter 30

As I sat in the Room of Requirement with Ginny and a group of other students, I couldn't help but feel anxious. We had been hearing rumors for weeks about Death Eaters infiltrating Hogwarts, and it seemed like every day there was a new security measure in place.

But as we sat there, talking quietly between ourselves, Neville suddenly appeared out of nowhere. He walked out of a portrait of Ariana, Dumbledore's sister, and announced to no one in particular, "Guess what I brought for you all?"

We all looked at each other, confused. What could Neville possibly have brought us?

Without waiting for an answer, Neville stepped aside, and to our surprise, out walked Harry, Ron, and Hermione. My heart leaped with joy as I watched them enter the room. Ginny ran to Harry, throwing her arms around him as they embraced. I, on the other hand, ran to Ron and Hermione, before making my way towards Harry.

I couldn't believe that they were here! It had been months since we last saw them, and I had missed them so much. We all hugged and laughed, catching up on everything that had happened since we last saw each other.

Once the cheering died down, Harry began to speak. He told us about the dangerous mission they had been on, searching for and destroying Horcruxes in an effort to defeat Voldemort once and for all.

As he spoke, I couldn't help but feel a sense of awe. These were the people who had fought against Voldemort before, who had risked their lives to protect the wizarding world. And here they were, back at Hogwarts to help us yet again.

After Harry finished speaking, we all sat in silence for a moment, taking in what he had said. Then Ron spoke up, jokingly asking if we could all go get some food. The tension broke, and we all laughed and chatted excitedly. It was good to have our friends back, even if it was just for a little while.

But as the night went on, I couldn't help but feel a sense of foreboding. The fact that Harry, Ron, and Hermione had been on such a dangerous mission only reinforced how serious the situation was. We were all in danger, and we needed to be prepared to fight back.

But for now, I pushed those thoughts aside and enjoyed the company of my friends. Who knew when we would have another moment like this?

As I walked down the dimly lit hallway, my heart began to race with anticipation and anxiety. It had been a year and four months since the breakup with Draco, and I had been avoiding our room ever since. But I knew I couldn't keep ignoring it forever. There were still a few things I had left behind that I needed to retrieve.

Hesitating for a moment as I approached the door to the room. Memories of our secret meetings flooded my mind, and I felt a pang of sadness. But I pushed the feeling aside and took a deep breath before turning the doorknob.

I stepped inside the room, and my eyes took a moment to adjust to the darkness. But then I heard a strange noise, a groaning sound that came from the bed. My heart skipped a beat, and I froze in place.

And that's when I saw him. Draco. He was laying there, his jaw clenched as he leans his back into the many pillows. The blankets cover his nearly naked body as the moonlight only helps sculpt his body. His eyes are closed as his head presses into the headboard. My eyes waver to the motion beneath the covers. The material covers him just right to conceal the strokes he is delivering to his hardened length.

"Sofia-" he lets out a small moan as I feel my face fluster. "Like that baby," he continues to whisper under his breath.

My foot shifts cautiously, and a faint creak echoes in the room. Draco's panting halts as I take a sharp breath. In a split second, he presses me up against the wall. I feel the wooden surface against my back while the sheets draped over Draco now cling to his waist. His hardened body remains visible despite his attempts to conceal it. His v-shaped torso looms as he draws in deep breaths.
